Not to many problems here, but i wash my car almost every week so I guess it doesnt really matter. Although i think the dirty rims show way worse than on a black car.

DO you know the Advanced auto parts that you pass on your way to Super Walmart if you are traveling west on Coloniol, from Alafaya?

Its right behind their...


The store is ghettoer then hell but they have tools, and oddly enough they have some rare tools as well, like camshaft pullers to reupholstering tools...

If you are looking for some basic tool always check them out they are dirt cheap. But they are not guranteed to have everything you want. But they sell lots of car stuff their as well... varousn cleaning stuff for cars...

I am an auto detailer....white is one of the best colors to get ...silver and anything gold /tan /pewter.....clay brick it .....anyone who thinks its hard to take care of is nuts....Black is the worst color you can own ...red comes in second....followed by green and blue dark colors show swirl marks which are unavoidable if you use towels that arent 100 percent cotton .....buy cannon feildcrest towels make sure you cut off the woven part near the edge. I would recomend clay brick then cleaner wax and then your favorite wax. The car then should feel very soft and you will know if do a good job if you take a plastic bag and then feel the paint through that with your fingers ....i own a WHITE trans am and even when she looks like crap people say how clean it is lol..

Oh, I agree, black is a majot PITA to keep clean. My Honda is black, and it never looks clean for more than a day.

But, I wouldn't buy a car simply on how easy to clean it is either I wouldn't choose white just because I don't like the color, but I wouldn't stay away from black just because it's hard to clean. JMO.

Oh, and Zaino works equally well for all color cars, I don't know why John said it doesn't work well with white? Zaino makes any car look beautiful IMO. I would use it on my Honda if the clear coat wasn't flaking off

I personally would have not bought or even looked at a white car if the price was not right. THen after looking at it, I think I might have bought it anyway. The combo of the color white I have with the tan top and leather looks awesome. I was actually looking for pewter or red. Greens were out because the wife had issues and silver did not really appeal to me and I have friends with black and that was definately out. But when I saw my current car I liked it immediately. And best of all it almost always looks clean. especially now.
